The Red-Green Fusion

The increasingly kinetic actions of militant German climate-protection groups are reminiscent of those of the violent leftist and communist revolutionaries of the 1970s. It seems the ideal of socialist revolution has been superseded by the imperative to impose draconian restrictions on the population in order to save the planet.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from JournalistenWatch. The translator’s comments are in square brackets.

Note: “RAF” in this context stands for the Red Army Faction (a.k.a. the Baader-Meinhof Gang, a violent communist organization from the 1970s), and not the Royal Air Force:

Will Germany soon be threatened by the “Climate RAF”?

While Ms. [Interior Minister Nancy] Faeser can only look to the right due to her ideologically-induced stiff neck, highly dangerous, violent and criminal structures are developing to her left (if that is still possible), which may shake Germany to its very foundations:

The extremism researcher Alexander Straßner warns against the radicalization of climate activists with a view to the recent blockades of roads and coal-fired power plants. “That reminds me strikingly of the first RAF members who went underground,” said the political scientist of the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. Like the Climate activists today, they were convinced: “We have to force anyone who doesn’t go along with us.”

Straßner said that the movement bears some traits of a sect and claims absolute truth. “The activists claim to speak for an entire generation. They systematically discriminate against other opinions, and that too is a sign of radicalization.”

The Red Army Faction showed precisely these lines of argument, said Straßner, who teaches at the University of Regensburg. He is particularly critical of groups such as “Last Generation”, “Ende Gelände” and “Extinction Rebellion”. “They refuse to take the parliamentary route and claim that there is not enough time.” [Obviously, because they believe that their time on the feeding frenzy trough is NOW.]

However, these groups still lack a figurehead that stands for militancy. Straßner nevertheless assumes further radicalization: “Extremists are romping about on the fringes, for whom new Climate Policy measures are not enough. For them there are no compromises, only their own demands.”

What the researcher unfortunately forgets to mention: These are the “spawn” of the Greens and Left, who see terror as their legitimate means. So it’s a homemade, if not intentional, problem. (With material from dts)

Afterword from the translator:

As our good friend Vlad Tepes always says; “The most important thing to understand with the Left is: the point is never the point, the revolution is ALWAYS the point,” and that is something that Alexander Straßner has also overlooked or willfully ignored. These people don’t give a damn about the environment, after all, the truth is irrelevant to the Narrative, as one can always clearly see in the aftermath of their demonstrations and the mountains of litter they leave behind for others to clean up.

Having been away for almost two weeks on our 25th anniversary honeymoon, and being deliberately and completely unaware of what is happening around the world, coming back to reality is quite a shock to the system.

I wish that I could be back at that lonely cottage near Paternoster on the West Coast, watching the sunset with an Irish whiskey or glass of wine in my hand and my dogs chasing the surf. And with the only problem for my daily happiness being that low tide, and with it the easy access to the mussel banks, is at an ungodly hour. Oh well — as usual, life has the uncanny tendency to creep up on you when you least expect it and make an impossible situation effortlessly worse. Slàinte Mhath.

  1. I really do hope Germany gets these envirowhackos in spades, it just makes the military takeover come that much sooner. The more the envirowhackos go nuts, the more nationalists they produce.

  2. I must admit – as a German – the propaganda gets more and more.

    A lot of articles about going vegan (males eat more meat and are responsible for more enviromental damage), the push about non-meat substitutes etc.
    I think there is a very big push first going vegan and outlawing meat and then – thanks Klaus – going insects.

    Some time ago I read an article where someone said: I hate the push for gay. Yes, we knew that there was something strange with Jimmy Sommerville, Freddy Mercury, and some other stars, but they didnt hammered their otherness into our faces with the force of a sledgehammer. They were (more or less) Dont ask, dont tell.

    But now they really push it.
